I think it would be a welcome addition, not just for mouse users, but also for anyone who uses a remote. It's not a big deal for me to navigate around, but I hate trying to explain to the wife why she has to keep hitting exit on the remote to get back to the home screen.
I've been messing with the keymap.xml and the commands alot lately and I think that GUI buttons are the way to go.

Would have to be carefully thought out though as it shouldn't detract from usability. We spent a lot of time trying to come up with a simple and clean way of navigating within screens and between screens.

Agreed! XBMC in general & mediastream specifically is pretty intuitive as it is, but sometimes I still have to explain to people how to go back with the remote or controller (idk how they miss the 'Back' button, but whatever, GUI buttons would probably be more obvious to newbies)...

Yea.. I've researched this for a while and the problem is that there isn't one but many back buttons: parentdir, previousmenu, stop, tab, arrow left (in media stream). The closest "back" button is Esc, but in some cases Esc just goes to home it doesn't go back.

At last i found a forum, thats talk about touch screen, i have 3 touchscreens for test, and i have triede some software but i mist the back buttom, on all the programs, so if there some skin i can use or some one can tell have to change a skin i will bee wery happy...
